self sows. May take 2 years to germinate. Moist shady area. Native woodland plant that blooms late in season. Hummers really like the blooms. Maybe plant with joepye weed. Should be resistant to Japanese beetle.
Got seed from Prairie Moon in Feb 2024. Began moist/cold stratification at end of Feb. Needs 2+ months, then 2+ months moist/warm, then another 2+ months moist/cold. Needs sunlight to germinate.
I will extend the first cold period to July or August.
Late April: some seed planted in peat pot room temp, some transferred in moist bag in room temp, some left in fridge.
